草根早午餐 TOUCH WOOD

🥜 Grassroots Brunch TOUCH WOOD | Hipster Egg Pancakes in the Alley
📍 No. 3, Lane 5, Wenzhou St., Da'an District, Taipei City 106
🕘 09:00–16:00 | Online reservations available

🥚 This brunch spot hidden in the alleys of Wenzhou Street has a bit of a hipster vibe and can get a bit hot. On weekdays, there aren't many visitors in the morning, so no need to queue up👌 Ordering via QR code and multiple payment methods is smooth, but the table spacing is a bit tight, not ideal for long conversations.

🌯 Mom's BBQ Pork Egg Pancake The egg pancake itself is akin to scallion pancakes, thick and chewy. The BBQ pork is laid on top of the egg pancake rather than wrapped inside, and the seasoning is a bit strong and salty, suitable for those with a robust palate. Overall, it has its memorable points but is not astonishing.

🍔 Truffle Mushroom Egg Burger The set comes with a smoothie. The egg burger has a strong mayonnaise flavor, while the truffle taste is somewhat overshadowed, making it not very distinctive in the truffle category. The smoothie has noticeable fruit fiber, and the guava and pineapple combination is not too sweet or cloying, considered refreshing but not special.

☕️ The Peanut Latte is somewhat ordinary; while it has a peanut flavor, it’s not strong enough, tasting more like diluted peanut milk, leaving no deep impression.

💸 The total price, including service charge, is $704, with a minimum consumption of one drink. After trying it, I feel it's somewhat expensive. It's a brunch place with ideas, good for taking photos and posting on social media, okay for an occasional visit, but I wouldn’t want to return.
